N/A  Do PCP rifles normally leak a bit over time?

I was degassing it to lower the regulator and wanted to be sure it was empty. And I don't know what I'm doing.
That’s why I’m glad when I got serious about PCP’s I bought a Snowpeak PP700 and worked on that extensively before cracking open one of my premium PCPs.
The most rock solid PCP I’ve owned is a Kalibrgun, the 3-4 years I had it I never had to do anything internally. And it responded well to just HS adjustments.

Resources  Mac1 USFT shooting techniques???

LD has come up with a new tune that cures the "farts". It involves using a shorter and stiffer hammer spring that allows for "free floating" the last 1/8" of the hammer swing. Now you get a quick "pop" and no double bouncing of the hammer on the firing valve pin. Depending on the stiffness of the hammer spring, you might need to have a heavier hammer or adjust the transfer port to get the FPS you are looking for.

You don't want the hammer spring creating pressure on the valve pin when the gun is un-cocked. You want 1/8" of free play before the hammer spring pushes the hammer into the valve pin when un-cocked.

Then you could have either nicked one of the o rings or maybe they didn't seat properly while reassembling. If the gun didn't leak beforehand then you now know exactly which seals to check. Use some silicone grease and lube the rings and reassemble the gun.

Also keep in mind that it's good practice to always lube the seals. You reduce the chance of them not seating well when you assemble the gun.
Thanks, I'll go get some silicone grease and give it a go.

Airforce  Worst PCP ever and I am ashamed that I fibbed.

My first PCP was a .25 Condor SS. Was a great hunting PCP but a horrible plinking PCP. Best I could do was 2 inch groups at 50 yards for about ten shots per fill. I hand pumped that damn rifle for two months. I got really lucky and sold it for only a $100 loss. Figured that was a great education and never looked back.

Maybe a RAW one day.

How many use the Zulus for...

I've done it with the Zulus and it has the resolution to work well. None of the Pards I've owned have had the resolution at any distance for range work and targets look too grainy.
I've never owned the Pard but have heard good things about them. Nice to know the Zulus edges them out in that aspect.
Do you do much shooting at 100 Yards plus? Wondering if it's okay there too. I haven't tried yet.

Having trouble seeing the reticle

This instruction is for sfp scope, does the op have a sfp or ffp scope.

Make diopter adjustments at lowest magnification on sfp scope and highest magnification on ffp scope.
Good question, he didn't state. The instructions provided are for a "ffp" and assumed he has one. A good question was also asked if he's having this issue with other scopes. Maybe he doesn't?

RAW Rapid  Are higher powered PCP's more difficult to shoot accurately?

I can get 5 pellets in one hole (as long as the wind or my nerves last) with most of my guns but yes, each one of them has a specific grip it wants to maintain.
FX Crown = thumb up and trigger in the center of the pad of the finger, one hand under the gun, light shoulder mount
Daystate Delta wolf = one hand on the scope and a firm shoulder mount, finger doesn't matter
DRS Tactical = firm grip, light shoulder, trigger in the middle

And so on... I usually mess up the first shot because I tend to forget but then quickly remember the preferred position of the gun.
It's similar to ammo choice. For some odd reason my Daystate is really pellet picky while my Crown can shoot french fries or peas in the same hole.

RAW Rapid  Are higher powered PCP's more difficult to shoot accurately?

The problem is the distance between the block where the barrel starts to come out to the tip of the barrel is to much, if the barrel was 1" thick it wouldn't be a problem.. the heavier the projectile , the harmonics go nuts n since most guns use bottles now is near to impossible to get a proprietary metal barrel band. But is not only your gun almost all guns with the same design faces the same problem. I fixed mine in the uragans tensioning the barrel + adding a barrel band, only now they work flawless n could handle even heavier slugs than before..
Beautiful Raw .. 👍

RAW Rapid  Are higher powered PCP's more difficult to shoot accurately?

I mainly hunt/pest, no paper. My most stable position is sitting cross-legged using a 13-27" tall bipod. Holding gun as lightly as I can with fewest contact points as possible gives the most accuracy. Same if I'm using a tripod, light contact at the fewest points. The majority of times my left hand isn't touching the gun. I shoot on the exhale & in between heartbeats when possible (With my FX Boss, .30) Just in the past year I started shooting thumb up (not through thumbhole in grip) for those shots that require an extra 1/8" of accuracy or longer distances. I've noticed a marked difference (for the better) .
Never answered your original question; I do find my Boss requires more from me & technique than do my .22 & .25. ANY gun with more reaction will require more from the shooter. Mine isn't a difficult gun to shoot accurately, per se, it just requires more attention & focus on my part.
